花花酱 LeetCode 1220. Count Vowels Permutation

Given an integer n, your task is to count how many strings of length n can be formed under the following rules:

  • Each character is a lower case vowel ('a''e''i''o''u')
  • Each vowel 'a' may only be followed by an 'e'.
  • Each vowel 'e' may only be followed by an 'a' or an 'i'.
  • Each vowel 'i' may not be followed by another 'i'.
  • Each vowel 'o' may only be followed by an 'i' or a 'u'.
  • Each vowel 'u' may only be followed by an 'a'.

Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: n = 1
Output: 5
Explanation: All possible strings are: "a", "e", "i" , "o" and "u".

Example 2:

Input: n = 2
Output: 10
Explanation: All possible strings are: "ae", "ea", "ei", "ia", "ie", "io", "iu", "oi", "ou" and "ua".

Example 3: 

Input: n = 5
Output: 68

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 2 * 10^4

Solution: DP

dp[i][c] := number of strings of length i ends with letter c
transition: follow the definition
ans = sum(dp[n])

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n) -> O(1)

C++

C++/O(1)

Solution 2: Matrix multiplication

Time complexity: O(logn)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++
